After moving to a rustic farmhouse in Wisconsin to escape from the Chicago din, 37signals co-founder Jason Fried found himself without a decent broadband connection. Fried can't get DSL, cable, Wi-Max, or EVDO connectivity and struggles along at modem and 3G wireless speeds. He's looking into satellite, which has significant downsides. For instance, the latency in a satellite connection might cause serious problems if Fried tried to use any of the elegant online applications his company has created.
